As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, including their new friend {{Todd}}, are having lunch, {{an|Misty}} points out that Ash has not won a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] in a while. Ash claims he wins all of his {{pkmn|battle}}s with skill, and challenges Misty to one. Todd steps in and tells Ash that he should take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]]. | As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, including their new friend {{Todd}}, are having lunch, {{an|Misty}} points out that Ash has not won a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] in a while.

The group arrives at the Pokémon League Admissions Center, and Ash signs up and is assigned testing number 7.

Nearby, [[Jessie]], [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as a schoolgirl, complains that she didn't get number 7, causing Ash to briefly become suspicious. A [[Nurse Joy]] enters and an infatuated {{an|Brock}} follows her. Ash is told by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|head instructor]] to leave all his {{i|Poké Ball}}s at the counter, as well as temporarily leave {{AP|Pikachu}} in Misty's care. Nurse Joy, who turns out to be from [[Fuchsia City]], tells Ash and his friends that she signed up for the exam because it was a convenient way for her to train to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. | ||
Soon after, [[James]] walks in, disguised as a schoolboy with glasses, but quickly heads for the counter once Ash sees him. When the head instructor reads James's registration form and calls out his name, James tells him to keep quiet. Unfortunately, Jessie hears this, takes James outside, and asks what he is doing there. James confidently says that he too wants to become a Pokémon Master, then asks Jessie what she is doing here. Jessie explains that she wants to add another talent to her collection, just as {{MTR}} shows up and scratches both their faces. James quickly throws Meowth a ball of yarn as a distraction, and then runs off with Jessie back inside for the exam. | Soon after, [[James]] walks in, disguised as a schoolboy with glasses, but quickly heads for the counter once Ash sees him.

The first exam tests a person's knowledge of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, where they answer true or false questions. Ash does his best to answer each of the questions correctly. At the {{p|Magikarp}} question, James is reminded of [[EP015|the]] [[EP016|time]] he had a {{TP|James|Magikarp}}, causing him to briefly shake in anger. He notices Jessie giving each question a "true" answer, hoping that she gets half of them right. | The first exam tests a person's knowledge of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, where they answer true or false questions.

The second exam tests a person's ability to recognize Pokémon. The Pokémon to recognize on the screen looks like a ball; Ash thinks it is a {{p|Voltorb}}, James thinks it is a Poké Ball, and Jessie thinks it is an {{p|Electrode}}.

The head instructor reveals that it is a {{p|Jigglypuff}}, as seen from above, to everyone's disbelief. The next Pokémon to recognize looks like a swirl; Ash guesses it is a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, James believes it is an {{p|Omanyte}}, and Jessie guesses it is an {{p|Arbok}} when it was all coiled up. However, the correct answer is a {{p|Poliwag}}, as its swirl changes direction upon it [[Evolution|evolving]]. The next Pokémon for the students to guess has a fiery tail, and Ash guesses it is a {{p|Charmander}}, but the right answer was {{p|Ponyta}}. A furious Jessie demands that she be asked easier questions, and the head instructor expels her. Once outside, Jessie wakes up Meowth and says that they are going to get revenge. | ||

Meanwhile, James stands alone in a corner, vowing that he will try extra hard for Jessie. | When the scoreboard comes down, Nurse Joy is shown to be close to the top, while Ash, to his disbelief, realizes his score is one of the lowest. Ash is left frustrated when Todd takes some photos of his abysmal score. Meanwhile, James stands alone in a corner, vowing that he will try extra hard for Jessie. | ||

Next, the head instructor tells Ash and James that they each have to select a belt of three Poké Balls without knowing what Pokémon are inside them. They choose their belts, and James is up first against the head instructor. The first Pokémon James sends out is a {{p|Pikachu}}, much to his delight. James believes that he cannot lose with Pikachu and claims that he has been destroyed by [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s attacks so many times that he knows them all by heart. The head instructor sends out a {{p|Graveler}}. James immediately commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack doesn't work on Graveler, allowing it to send Pikachu flying with a {{m|Tackle}}. Angry at this, James sends out an {{p|Ivysaur}} and a {{p|Charizard}} at the same time. Unfortunately, the head instructor expels James for breaking the rules by bringing out two Pokémon at once. | ||
It is Ash's turn to face the head instructor, who sends out a {{p|Flareon}}. Ash pulls out his first Poké Ball, which reveals a {{p|Weezing}}, much to Ash's shock and displeasure. The instructor has Flareon use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Weezing proceeds to dodge. Coming up with an idea, Ash tells Weezing to counter with {{m|Smog}}, which explodes upon being hit by the Flamethrower, throwing Flareon backwards. Flareon uses {{m|Leer}}, but Ash has Weezing use {{m|Smokescreen}} to hide, then follow up with a Tackle, knocking Flareon out. As Misty comments on Ash being good at battling after all, Brock comments that even {{TRT}} could win if they battled like that. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is taking notes of Ash's fighting strategy. Next, the head instructor sends out a {{p|Jolteon}}, and Ash sends out an Arbok. Jolteon uses {{m|Agility}}, but Arbok stops it with {{m|Glare}}. | It is Ash's turn to face the head instructor, who sends out a {{p|Flareon}}.

Arbok tries to use {{m|Wrap}}, but gets hurt by Jolteon's spikes. At this point, while Arbok is wincing in pain, Jolteon shakes off the Glare attack and finishes Arbok off with {{m|Thunder}}. | ||
For the final round, Ash opens his last Poké Ball to reveal a {{p|Meowth}}, while the head instructor sends out a {{p|Vaporeon}}. Meowth tries to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}, but gets {{status|Freeze|frozen}} in its tracks when Vaporeon uses {{m|Ice Beam}}, giving the victory to the head instructor. Team Rocket's Meowth scratches Ash's face and frees his fellow Meowth. The head instructor is impressed by the talking Meowth, so he goes to capture him. However, Team Rocket returns with James's Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard. When the head instructor demands that they return those Pokémon immediately, Jessie and James say their {{motto}} and remove their disguises.

Before the Pokémon can attack, the head instructor quickly orders them to turn around, causing Pikachu, Ivysaur, and Charizard to attack Team Rocket. Ash realizes that those Pokémon listened to the head instructor because he {{pkmn|training|raised}} them. Ash orders his Meowth, Weezing, and Arbok to also stop Team Rocket. After Team Rocket has been beaten down by their own Pokémon, Weezing uses {{m|Explosion}}, sending them blasting off again. | ||
Back inside the building, the head instructor tells the whole class that due to Team Rocket's interference, they have to do the entire exam all over again. The head instructor offers Ash another chance to pass the test, but Ash refuses, saying that he was better off winning Gym Badges from [[Gym Leader]]s. A short time later, Ash and his friends say goodbye to the head instructor and Nurse Joy before heading off for [[Cinnabar Island]]. Todd comes up to Nurse Joy with one of the two Meowth that got hurt in the Explosion. Unexpectedly, the Meowth talks, revealing that it is Team Rocket's Meowth, and leaps away to go after Jessie and James. Meanwhile, as Jessie and James vow revenge on Ash and his friends, they quickly discover that they ended up with the wrong Meowth. | Back inside the building, the head instructor tells the whole class that due to Team Rocket's interference, they have to do the entire exam all over again.
